The Belmont Hill squash team, coming off their fourth consecutive ISL title-winning season, is looking for another successful campaign. On December 2nd, the team travels to Brooks to compete in the Jackson Tournament, before playing at home against Phillips Andover on December 6.
Coach Brownell’s hopes for the season are both to win a fifth consecutive ISL title and make a splash in the national circuit. The team was on the bubble of the top 16 teams nationally last year, which is considered Division I.
The team is young but is showing lots of potential. Belmont Hill’s squash team has dominated the ISL since the beginning of the league, but Mr. Brownell points out that this year Milton and Tabor should offer some good competition.
Belmont Hill has had a relatively low turnover from last season, as just three seniors graduated, including captain Aaron Green ’23. The team will be headed by veterans Leighton Calhoun ’25 (captain), Jai Karande ’25, Hayden Okurowski ’25, Angus Harrison ’24, and Griffin Calhoun ’26. Mr. Brownell said, “I think that the team will be very successful if everybody commits to making each other better in practice. I believe that having a successful team will take sustained hard work this year, but that this team definitely has a high ceiling.” The Panel Staff wishes Coach Brownell and the entire Varsity Squash team good luck with their season!
